Not long ago, Huafu was the lord of Huai'an County, and the red door couplet that had not been placed for a long time was removed and hung with white satin. Who doesn't know that both ladies were assassinated a few days ago? Huacheng was panicked because Huafu was disturbed and the mother died. Even the well-guarded matriarch in the prince's mansion will be killed, so what should they do with this group of small people?

No matter what, no matter how frightened and angry he is, such an unfortunate thing as Huafu is already doomed, and no one can snatch people from the hands of Hades. But there is one thing, if the murderer is not arrested for a day, the mastermind will not be revealed for a day, and Huafu will not be at peace for a day. Those adults who came to mourn couldn't see Hua Xun in the mourning hall left and right, and they all speculated in their hearts that the county lord of Huai'an was dissatisfied with his younger brother, and there were rumors and rumors, which were rarely known.

At this time, Huafu did not handle things appropriately enough as outsiders seemed. At the very least, Huajun Hou Tieqing's face can be seen that this matter is only afraid that the big article is still to come.

Hua Junhou sat on the top seat, Du Zhong stood behind him, and in the hall, Hua Xun, the lord of Huai'an County, Chu Yan, the lord of Anhe County, Gongzi Hua Yan, the distinguished guest Hua Du, and Miss Hua An were all there.

Chu Yan held the concert in her hand, glanced at everyone in the hall, and said loudly: "Now the evidence of the crime is conclusive, it is related to Zhong Ci's future county horse, Zhong Ci will inevitably play the Son of Heaven," she arched her hand in the direction of Chang'an, "Tomorrow, I will urgently submit the report to the imperial case for eight hundred miles!" ”

"Wait!" Hua Junhou said, "The county lord still thinks twice. I'm afraid this confession is not enough to believe! ”

"Oh?" Chu Yan looked at Hua Junhou and made a humble attitude, "I don't know why Junhou said this?" This confession was written by the prisoner after Taishou personally interrogated the prisoner, and the prisoner Cao wrote. Why, is the prince suspecting that Lord Taishou and Lord Cao are cheating? ”

Hua Junhou said categorically: "Definitely! Ben Hou is not saying that Taishou and the thief Cao are favoritism. It's just that this involves a child Hua Yan that the testimony feels inadmissible. ”

"Gongzi Yan is the son of a prince and a marquis, and the Da Chen criminal law says: 'If a relative is involved, he must be avoided if he is in the official position.'" , is this a matter of interfering? ”

"County Lord!" Hua Junhou changed color and said, "Do you really want to present this piece to the Imperial Palace?" ”

"Not bad."

"Good!" Hua Junhou stroked his palms and sneered, Shi Shiran got up, stared at Chu Yan, and looked at Hua Xun again, "Then the county lord will ask, I'm afraid that even if you get to the front of the palace, your majesty may not be able to do what the county lord wants!" ”

"Why does my father repeatedly favor Ah Zhi?" Hua Xun asked, "Although Ah Zhi didn't kill anyone, he led his sons and county lords to Huacheng Mountain, which can be regarded as an accomplice—"

"Sister, when I went to Huacheng Mountain that day, Ah Zhi went with you!" Hua Yan retorted loudly, "Why does Sister Ah have to let Ah Zhi bear this charge? Similarly, my mother passed away, Ah Zhi was also a victim, Sister Ah reversed right and wrong, could it be true as outsiders speculated, Sister Ah wanted to kill me and Lord Huafu? ”

"You-"

Hua Xun's mind was a little confused, she usually didn't say this impulsively, it was really because she was so immersed in the grief of losing her mother that she was too expectant to be able to catch the murderer. The evidence provided by Chu Yan allowed her to confirm her speculation about Hua Yan, but Hua Junhou repeatedly hoped that Hua Yan would be cleaned up from this matter. Regardless of whether Hua Yan is involved in the matter or not, there is no way to convince others if Hua Yan does not know. She made a mistake in a moment of urgency and was caught.

"I'm just telling things according to my confession, even if I go to Huacheng Mountain and don't do your business, I'm in a hurry to say something wrong, then you won't speculate on malice and say rumors from outsiders. This is a heart-wrenching word, Ah Zhi, do you really not know the benefits of rumors, even more than poisonous snakes? Hua Xun sneered, "Before you clear your name, do you still want to put notoriety on my head?" ”

"Yes." Hua An knocked on the melon seeds and glanced at him, "You are a dignified son, when will you learn from the shrews in the market, and use rumors to count people's strengths?" ”

"That's enough." Hua Junhou slapped the table, brushed his sleeves and left.

Hua Yan glanced at Hua Xun and followed Hua Junhou away.

At this time, the hall was quiet, and only the sound of Hua An's bored melon seeds was restored.

Hua Du got up, walked out, and gave Chu Yan a look when he passed by her. Chu Yan understood and nodded to Hua Du.

This qiē was taken into the eyes of Hua Xun, and he was secretly suspicious in his heart.

Three watches in the month. The small door of the courtyard where Quietly Huadu lived was opened, and Chu Yan avoided the others in a low-key manner, and entered the courtyard lightly with a lantern. She stood in the courtyard and looked up at the moonlight, which was very bright, and the branches of the trees outside the courtyard wall reached out, and the shadows of the trees were dim in the moonlight.

I didn't hear anyone else's voice in my ears, so she came to the door and knocked on Huadu's door: "It's Zhongci." ”

"Come in." Hanato's voice came from inside.

Chu Yan pushed open the door, entered the door, put the lantern aside, and closed the door with his backhand. She looked natural, turned to Hua Du who was sitting at the table, and saluted: "I don't know if Xie Yu came to me, what is the important thing to ask?" ”

"You may be seated."

Hua Du lifted the teapot, made a cup of tea, pushed it in front of the place where Chu Yan was sitting, and said in a soft tone: "Can Zhong Ci solve my doubts?" ”

Chu Yan's eyelids jumped, and he said with a smile on his lips: "Puzzle? Interpreting the ancient and modern, knowing astronomy and geography, Zhong Ci does not have this ability. ”

"Are you complaining about what I said to you on the day we first met?"

"Don't dare."

"There are no outsiders here, and there is no need to play this official tone." Huadu said tepidly, "You know what I'm going to ask. ”

"Wise man, why bother asking?" Chu Yan said, "Yes, I could have secretly presented the chapter to His Majesty and reported the matter to Hua Junhou to know, and I also deliberately wanted to make him jealous." ”

Hua Du lowered his eyes, looking at the steaming tea bowl, and his slender fingers lightly touched the edge of the tea bowl, listening intently to Chu Yan's words.

"This is also to ask Tang." Chu Yan sighed and said, "Actually, tell the prince of Hua that the prisoner recruited me about Hua Yan's involvement, so that the prince will not want to deal with Wen Tang in a hurry." You also know that now that the two ladies have passed away, the inheritance of Huafu can only be selected from Wen Tang and Gongzi Yan. But in the end, asking Tang is a woman, even though Gongzi Yan is suspected of murdering his sister and Mrs. Junhou, this suspicion still can't stop Junhou from wanting to keep Gongzi Yan's mind. Junhou only has a son, Gongzi Yan, and it can be seen that in the past two days, even if Junhou loves Wentang, he has never thought of letting Wentang inherit the family business, he values Gongzi Yan more! ”

She had a look of resentment on her face, clenched her fists and said: "Today, Gongzi Yan and Wentang are facing each other, and the prince is displeased, which can be seen!" Regardless of whether Gongzi Yan was involved in this matter or not, the prince would not want to pursue it. Wen Tang has the legend of the flower fairy, and he is the respect of the county lord, and there are even rumors outside that the call for Wen Tang to inherit the flower mansion is so high that it has threatened Gongzi Yan. If Wen Tang is willing to give up this thought, it would be fine, but she can't. She looks beautiful on the surface, but in fact, she has made the prince feel that she is hindering Gongzi Yan. Once this goes on for a long time, the prince's resentment towards Wen Tang accumulates, and he is only afraid that he will ......" Chu Yan closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

Hua Du looked at her calmly, and his eyes moved slightly. She didn't object to this, but just bowed her head slightly and said, "It's reasonable to say this." ”

Chu Yan smiled bitterly: "There is also some selfishness for me here. From a personal point of view, I hope that Wen Tang can take charge of Huafu and save her life, which is also to hope that after she becomes the owner of Huafu, she can support Ning Wangfu. She paused and said in disappointment, "Huafu has been associated with Ning Wangfu for generations, but now His Majesty weighs between the prince and Ning Wangfu, the prince is the prince, even if it is not good, it is not in every way, it is better than the life of Ning Wang duckweed." ”

"The harm of the power struggle, if you wander the hanging thread, if one is not good, you will fall into the abyss, and there will be no return." Huadu said lightly.

"Not bad." Chu Yan bowed his head, agreeing with her point of view, and changed his words, "But if you don't leave, you are doomed to death." I don't intend to let Wen Tang be involved in this, I just need to ask Tang to learn from the prince and marquis, and be impartial...... That Gongzi Yan doesn't understand this, he is a mediocre person, but he has the power to inherit the lord of the mansion, once such a person becomes the lord of the Huafu mansion, he is afraid that he will be used by someone with a heart. ”

Hua Du's eyes flashed with strange feelings. She picked up her tea to block her gaffe.

The two talked for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Chu Yan was worried that he would be discovered if he stayed here in Huadu for a long time, so he got up to say goodbye, and took the lantern Shi Shiran to retire. After Chu Yan left, Hua Du made a new cup of tea, looked at the figure inside the curtain and said, "You heard it too." What Chu Zhongci did naturally had her reasons. ”

A man came out of the curtain, dressed in a pale yellow dress, with a melancholy face. She walked to Huadu and sat down, took the tea that Huadu poured for her, and said, "I'm afraid, this may not be all sincere." ”

"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out later." Hua Du smiled lightly, "Although she is deeply involved in power struggles and has the intention of taking advantage of you, there is a bit of sincerity in this, and it is enough." ”

Hua Xun tilted her head, supported her chin depressedly, and said sullenly: "You were originally going to persuade her to get out of these battles, why didn't you say it later?" ”

"If Chu Zhongci can persuade me, is she still Chu Zhongci?" Hua Du pursed the corners of his lips and said gently, "Ask Tang, are you still suspicious?" ”

"I don't know who can trust you, but I believe you." Hua asked, "What about Zhong Ci, halfway through the words, her mind will never be as simple as she said." She sued her father, first, that in order to keep Ah Zhi, her father would pay less attention to things that could be masterminded by Liu Yuancheng, which is called causing trouble; Second, she really wants to help me pull Ah Zhi into the water, although I have no evidence to prove that I have anything to do with Ah Zhi, but everyone knows that Hua Yan and I have always been incompatible, so it is □□ true that Ah Zhi wanted to harm me, which can be regarded as revenge in disguise; Third, I am afraid that my father will reach an agreement with her privately for Azhi. She folded her fingers and listed them one by one, then took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Zhong Ci thinks that I am the same person as her. ”

"You're not." Huadu shook his head and said.

"No," Hua Xun scoffed, "I am." Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that the confession was □□ coerced, and I acquiesced in the resignation. In a way, Chu Zhongci and I are complicit! ”

Silence. The candle flame burned a little bright, crackling and exploding. Outside the window, the shadows of the trees swayed, as if there were shadows peeping in.

"Why don't you go with me."

Hua Du slowly spit out this sentence, his eyes full of seriousness.

"Let's go? Where to? Hua Xun took a sip of tea and said disapprerovitically, "The world is so big, there is no place for me to go." Unless......" she grinned and approached Hanato.

"Unless?" Hanadu glanced at her and raised an eyebrow.

"Heaven," Hua Xun pointed to the sky, and then down, "into the earth." This world is the world of Da Chen, and His Majesty's surname is Chu, Chu Yan Chu and Chu Zhongci. ”

"Okay, I'll take you to heaven."
